The Fort Dodge line was not short lived. Didn't it dieselize during the mid '50's
and then become part of the C&NW?

And she does not appear that attractive. Put a weed in her mouth and she'd look
like Texas trailer trash. (jab at Charlie for his retirement plans.) But she sure
isn't stupid. With a feedback rating of 1174 and hooking some sucker for an opening
bid of $99, perhaps that picture does have an effect on the guys! :-)   Ken J.
